Morning Full Moon
Colorful landscape against a clear morning sky and full moon.
This photo was taken toward the end of a long journey, as I was driving from Illinois to Colorado, moving to Aspen. This shot, approaching Glenwood Canyon, was taken on the same day as my earlier “Full Moon Sunrise” photo here on “Aspen Views.”

Steaming Stream
Beautiful snowy morning, sunshine, and steam rising off the water.
OK, it’s actually a river—the Roaring Fork River to be precise—but I went for the catchy name! I took this shot from the Rio Grande Bridge, right by the Aspen Art Museum, on a beautiful snowy morning. A typical day here in paradise last year… tons of snow the night before, followed by a beautiful sunny morning! The sun illuminating the steam rising off the water was really quite inspiring and peaceful all at the same time.

Full Moon Sunrise

Full moon at sunrise in Frisco, CO (in Summit County, between Keystone and Copper Mtn).
One year ago today… I arrived in Aspen! One of the highlights of the 1000-mile trip from Illinois was watching the sun rise as I was driving into the mountains. The full moon set against the new snow on that ridge, as the sun was just starting to come up, made it rather surreal (that, or it was the sleep deprivation from driving a U-Haul twenty hours at that point!). I was so happy to be up in the mountains, just a few hours from Aspen. The view looking over Lake Dillon (near Keystone, Breckenridge ski areas) was pretty amazing at that point too.
